Why do so many TV shows and movies include courtroom dramas? Because people love drama, they love to try to figure out who committed the crime, and because they love the clash of right and wrong.

At A2L Consulting, we believe that the difference between a good result at trial and a great result can lie in the performance of the trial technician.

Forty-five states may have mandatory continuing legal education (CLE) requirements for attorneys – but all litigators and litigation support staff, wherever they are located, have a duty to stay informed and maintain their skills. Whether you are a first chair litigator or a litigation paralegal, given the pace of change in trial technology and trial strategy, it can be a challenge just to keep up with the latest trends.

by Kenneth J. Lopez, J.D. CEO & Founder A2L Consulting I created my first trial exhibit while working for the U.S. government in 1992 as a clerk in the Eastern District of Virginia. Two assistant U.S. attorneys were having a hard time explaining why a witness was able to see the defendant in a drug bust in spite of a four-foot wall. I created a simple map exhibit using my Mac and they were thrilled.
A2 Consulting is proud to release its largest e-book to date – the BIG Litigation E-Book for Litigators and Litigation Support. With more than 75 pages of specific, litigation-focused content drawn from actual trials, this book contains a wealth of valuable information for any litigator. While the book is geared toward litigators trying big cases – those with $10 million or more at stake – there is something here for all litigators. We think it’s invaluable for anyone who is conducting a trial before a jury or judge, in federal or state court. In more than 25 articles, the courtroom experts at A2L cover such topics as storytelling for litigators, mock testing of litigation graphics and arguments, making great opening statements, researching your judge, preparing timelines, and working with the difficult expert witness.
We have discussed many situations in which a large company faces a court challenge from a smaller company, from the government, or from a class of consumers or purchasers. Sometimes, those situations will be “David v. Goliath” cases, in which the large company, usually the defendant, must step carefully during the trial to avoid being cast as the “heavy” with all the legal and other resources. Jurors sometimes don’t look favorably on a big company.
